BBMF booked for both days. This 'airshow' is pretty naff as fsr as airshows go, however as a freebie i nor anyone can really complain. It's good to potentially see the swordfish coming.

The airshow in Newcastle, Co. Down is taking place on Sat 11th Aug., so I expect both airshows will probably have same aircraft on display.

Best location for photos is at the end of central pier if you can get there early enough.

The display Typhoon (with the RAF100 tail) and a spare just landed at Blackpool.

Im going to miss Saturdays display ( at a wedding ) and Sunday looks like a wash-out. Fingers crossed that it isn’t.
